This is really very easy task to perform. Making “Shutdown” and “Reboot” shortcuts on desktop is really very easy and user-friendly.

Here are the steps to create Shortcuts.

• First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut.
• Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown.
• After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.

But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:

shutdown -r -t 01 -c “Rebooting your PC”

Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message “Rebooting your PC.” The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.

I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my Windows, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:

shutdown -s -t 03 -c “Bye Bye Shekhar!”
shutdown -r -t 03 -c “Ill be back Shekhar !”

Switch – What it basically do ?

-s
Shuts down the PC.

-l
Logs off the current user.

-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c “messagetext”
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r
Reboots the PC.
